Army demotes naughty goatFrom: Reuters  Disgraced ... army mascot Billy Goat with a handler / AP The six-year-old mascot goat for a British army battalion has been demoted in disgrace for kidding around during a parade in full view of dignitaries. Billy Goat has been a mascot of the First Battalion, the Royal Welsh regiment, since he was six months old and had the official rank of lance-corporal before his frisky antics during a parade marking Queen Elizabeth's official birthday earlier this month. The army said he had been demoted to fusilier (private) as a result of his behaviour. ``The goat major had a hard time keeping him in line, he was bouncing around all over the place,'' military spokesman Captain Crispian Coates said. Doubly embarrassing was Billy's refusal to obey commands in front of diplomats and army top brass, Coates said. ``This is his first overseas tour. He has certainly not made a good start for himself.''

I loved the last quote... mainly because I have written something eerily similar on a counseling statement.

Hey! BF! We found your goat!
Why play lawn darts when you can be one?
Q: Miss, were you cited in the accident?
A: Yes, sir, I was so 'cited I peed all over myself.

See what happens when you bring a goat to a parade.
 I took the road less traveled and that made all the difference.......
